25 > 25

I just read this here (very popular Austrian news source) and thought it was very funny.

German Version:

Autodiebe besonders jung
Eine Besonderheit zeigt sich bei den Verdächtigen im Bereich Autodiebstahl und -einbruch: Während bei anderen Delikten mehr als die Hälfte der mutmaßlichen Täter über 25 Jahre alt sind, sind die im Kfz-Sektor tätigen Kriminellen überdurchschnittlich jung, sprich bis zu 50 Prozent zwischen 14 und 25 Jahre alt.

English Version (best effort from my side):

Car thieves are particularly young

There is something specific about suspects in the area of car theft and burglary: 50% of other criminals are over 25 years old. Car thieves and burglars are in average younger. Up to 50% are between 14 and 25 years.

I'm assuming that there are no significant numbers of car thieves younger than 14. So the median for criminals (excluding car thieves and burglars) is 25 years (half of the criminals are older than 25) and the median for car thieves and burglars is 25 years (half of the criminals are younger than 25). And obviously 25 is much less than 25.

Mind Maps & Todo Lists

Inspired by Mark Levy I've started experimenting with FreeMind (an open source mind mapping tool). The visuals are nice, simple, and flexible. There are lots of keyboard shortcuts, so I don't need to use the mouse that much. I like being able to easily collapse or expand sub-branches, spatially arrange them, use font sizes to visualize priorities. I still need to figure out what FreeMind's calendar features are capable of doing. I'd love to have an alternative view where tasks are sorted by deadlines.

The image shows my current todo list at work.

Fat Pigeon

A super fat pigeon was sleeping on the tree right in front of our kitchen window today. I wouldn't have noticed it if the other birds (some of them can be seen in the picture) hadn't made such a big fuss of it.
